Once Upon A Time GOD created you. I picture GOD  in heaven with HIS  soon to be born babies. HE  carefully looks into the eyes of every "newborn" and speaks~ MY CHILD , today is the day I will be sending you to earth. I have chosen this day for you to be born. There will be pain and hurt. But there will be PEACE, HOPE , and  JOY, because there will be LOVE . For I will be with you wherever you go. And MY LOVE that is like no other  LOVE. MY LOVE IS HEAVEN SENT, for ONE and f

The wishbone is left. The mashed potatoes, stuffing, and pie are having a party in your stomach. Now what? THE DAY AFTER . Do you eat leftovers as you decorate the Christmas tree? THE DAY AFTER . The Now What? I think of Jonah on his DAY AFTER . THE DAY AFTER GOD had the big fish spit him out. Oh was Jonah THANKFUL ? Hmm. Well, he was right before he was released from the belly of the big fish. And then Jonah finally did what GOD asked him to do from the very beginning~

Today is the DAY. THANKSGIVING DAY . It arrives with TRADITIONS. .The day is centered around a turkey,  who will show up with all of its friends, that will fill our bellies until we are ready to pop. TRADITIONS. Old & New. So what is a NEW TRADITION? I guess you could call it TRANSITION, as today you be spending it with the same people, who you have always celebrated, or with some new people that you will be meeting for the first time, or without some people, who you wish wer

LET GOD BE GOD! What FREEING WORDS, because GOD  doesn't need  PERMISSION  to BE HIMSELF.   But don't we treat GOD  as someone who we can control, who needs our permission for GOD  to be HE  who HE  already is? LET GOD BE GOD are the words of SURRENDER, when you SURRENDER TO GOD'S WORDS~ "BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD"  (Psalm 46:10). GOD  never said~ BE STILL AND KNOW THAT  you are GOD or  BE STILL AND KNOW THAT your relationships are GOD or BE STILL AND KNOW THAT  your c

Gobble Gobble. Gobble. Thanksgiving week. But what if THANKS GIVING was a lifestyle and just not a day. Now is time for THANKSLIVING~ a great word from the mouth of Anne Graham Lotz. THANKSLIVING is LIVING IN GRATITUDE to BE JOYFUL ALWAYS to PRAY CONTINUOUSLY to GIVE THANKS in all circumstances for this is GOD'S WILL FOR YOU IN CHRIST JESUS (I Thessalonians 5:16-18). For now is the TIME, as we only have this moment, so will you join me. THANK YOU GOD for ___________ & THANK

MY FAITH, MY FAMILY & MY FRIENDS, are the words of THANKS from my precious friend. A woman of great FAITH who can be THANKFUL  in the midst of  of the not so THANKFUL  circumstances, only because she knows  from the top of her head to the tip of her toes who she is  GIVING THANKS. To GOD. GOD , who she knows is with her "wherever she goes" (Joshua 1:9). GOD,  who she comes to when she is "weary and burdened"  (Matthew 11:28). GOD,  who she "casts all her anxieties"  (I Peter

GOD told Moses to tell them to put blood around the doorposts of their homes, if you FEAR GOD. The  GOOD FEAR. If you FEAR GOD~ if you BELIEVE GOD. If you FEAR GOD~   to go beyond just listening and TO DO  what HE ASKS.   Yup. GOD ASKS. ASKING  is an INVITATION. ASKING  precedes a R.S.V.P.~ YES  or NO. Well, the ones who answered NO did not put blood around their doorposts and death took their first born males. Does this mean that GOD  is bad! Oh no. A bad GOD  does not ASK  

You know IT is there as IT is trying so hard to take over your being, yet you hold back because you wonder if IT is for you~ PEACE! HIS PERFECT PEACE that is awaiting to flow through you like a river to enter into every nook and crany of your being, yet you don't BELIEVE that you could experience HIS PEACE in the moment because PEACE is not what you are feeling, and your circumstances are screaming UN~PEACEFUL because you can't even " Consider it all JOY, my brothers and

As soon as she saw me, she greeted me with a hug and a smile that came from deep within her HEART. And then she handed me a picture she colored for me. A turkey. I will never look at a turkey the same. And then we were making paper boats from a napkins, as we awaiting for our food. And then the napkins turned into butterflies. And all it took was a turkey, a napkin boat and abutterfly. Then playing rock, paper, scissors. And it was a night that is tattooed on my heart. For th
